FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND FIRST AID KIT
As a precaution if any injury or fire should occur,
always do the following.
• Be sure that fire extinguishers have
been provided and read the labels to
ensure that you know now to use
them. It is recommended that an
appropriately sized (2.27 kg [5 lb] or
larger) multipurpose "A/B/C" fire
extinguisher be mounted in the cab.
Check and service the fire
extinguisher at regular intervals and
make sure that all work site crew
members are adequately trained in
its use.
• Provide a first aid kit in the storage compartment and keep another at the work site. Check the
kit periodically and make any additions if necessary.
• Know what to do in case of injury from fire.
• Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance service, hospital and fire department near
your telephone.
If the machine catches fire, it may lead to serious personal injury or death. If a fire occurs during operation,
escape from the machine as follows;
• Turn the starter switch "OFF" and shut down engine.
• If there is time, use the fire extinguisher to extinguish as much of the fire as possible.
• Use the handrails and steps to escape from the machine.
The above is the basic method for escaping from the machine, but changing the method may be necessary
according to the conditions, so carry out practice drills at the work site.
PROTECTION FROM FALLING OR FLYING
OBJECTS
On work sites where there is danger that falling
objects or flying objects may hit the operator's
cab select a guard to match the operating
conditions to protect the operator.
Work in mines, tunnels, deep pits or on loose or
wet surfaces could produce danger of falling
rock, roll over or hazardous flying objects.
Additional protection for operator's cab could be
required in form of a FOPS/Falling Object
Protective Structure and/or ROPS/Roll Over
Protective Structure reinforcement system.

S0103020K Page 10 Wheel Loader Safety MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING Before getting on or off the machine, if there is any oil, grease, or mud on the handrails, steps, or track shoes, wipe it off immediately. Always keep these parts clean. Repair any damage and tighten any loose bolts. Never get on or off a moving machine. In particular, never get on or off a moving machine. These actions may lead to serious injury. When getting on or off the machine, always face the machine, and maintain a three-point contact (both feet and one hand or one foot and both hands) with the handholds and steps to ensure that you support yourself securely. Never hold any control levers when getting on or off the machine. Never get up from operator's seat or leave operator's station and dismount machine if engine is running. FUEL, OIL AND HYDRAULIC FLUID FIRE HAZARDS Fuel, oil and antifreeze will catch fire if it is brought close to a flame. Fuel is particularly flammable and can be hazardous. Always strictly observe the following. Add fuel, oil, antifreeze and hydraulic fluid to the machine only in a well ventilated area. The machine must be parked with controls, lights and switches turned "OFF." The engine must be "OFF" and any flames, glowing embers, auxiliary heating units or spark causing equipment must be doused, turned "OFF" and/ or kept well clear of the machine. Static electricity can produce dangerous sparks at the fuel filling nozzle. In very cold, dry weather or other conditions that could produce a static discharge, keep the tip of the fuel nozzle in constant contact with the neck of the fuel filling nozzle, to provide a ground. Keep fuel and other fluid reservoir caps tight and do not start the engine until caps have been secured. HA3O1003 Figure 3 Figure 4
- 14. S0103020K Page 11 Wheel Loader Safety PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING FLUIDS AT HIGH TEMPERATURE Immediately after operations are stopped, the coolant, engine oil, and hydraulic oil are at high temperature and the radiator and hydraulic tank are still under pressure. Attempting to remove the cap, drain the oil or coolant, or replace the filters may lead to serious burns. Always wait for the temperature to go down, and follow the specified procedures when carrying out these operations. To prevent hot coolant from spurting out, shut down engine, wait for the coolant to cool, then loosen the cap slowly to relieve the pressure. To prevent hot oil from spurting out, shut down engine, wait for the oil to cool, then loosen the cap slowly to relieve the pressure. INJURY FROM WORK EQUIPMENT Do not enter or put your hand, arm or any other part of your body between movable parts, such as between the work equipment and cylinders, or between the machine and work equipment. If the control levers are operated, the clearance between the machine and the work equipment will change and this may lead to serious damage or personal injury. If going between movable parts is necessary, always position and secure the work equipment so that it cannot move. HAOA050L Figure 5 HAOA060L Figure 6 HDO1010L Figure 7
- 15. S0103020K Page 12 Wheel Loader Safety FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND FIRST AID KIT As a precaution if any injury or fire should occur, always do the following. • Be sure that fire extinguishers have been provided and read the labels to ensure that you know now to use them. It is recommended that an appropriately sized (2.27 kg [5 lb] or larger) multipurpose "A/B/C" fire extinguisher be mounted in the cab. Check and service the fire extinguisher at regular intervals and make sure that all work site crew members are adequately trained in its use. • Provide a first aid kit in the storage compartment and keep another at the work site. Check the kit periodically and make any additions if necessary. • Know what to do in case of injury from fire. • Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance service, hospital and fire department near your telephone. If the machine catches fire, it may lead to serious personal injury or death. If a fire occurs during operation, escape from the machine as follows; • Turn the starter switch "OFF" and shut down engine. • If there is time, use the fire extinguisher to extinguish as much of the fire as possible. • Use the handrails and steps to escape from the machine. The above is the basic method for escaping from the machine, but changing the method may be necessary according to the conditions, so carry out practice drills at the work site. PROTECTION FROM FALLING OR FLYING OBJECTS On work sites where there is danger that falling objects or flying objects may hit the operator's cab select a guard to match the operating conditions to protect the operator. Work in mines, tunnels, deep pits or on loose or wet surfaces could produce danger of falling rock, roll over or hazardous flying objects. Additional protection for operator's cab could be required in form of a FOPS/Falling Object Protective Structure and/or ROPS/Roll Over Protective Structure reinforcement system. HDO1009L Figure 8 HAOA110L Figure 9
- 16. S0103020K Page 13 Wheel Loader Safety Any reinforcement system that is installed on machine must pass safety and certification standards and carry appropriate labeling and rating information. For example, most often added type of reinforcement system, FOPS, must meet or exceed Society of Automotive Engineers standard SAE J1356, "Performance Criteria for Falling Object Guards for Wheel loaders." Never attempt to alter or modify any type of protective structure reinforcement system, by drilling holes, welding or remounting or relocating fasteners. Any serious impact or damage to system requires a complete integrity reevaluation. Reinstallation, recertification and/ or replacement of system may be necessary. INSTALL ADDITIONAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT IF CONDITIONS REQUIRE Laminate glass protection for the front, side or rear windows may also be recommended depending upon particular site conditions. Contact your Daewoo distributor for available safety guards and/or recommendations if there is any danger of getting hit by objects that could strike the operator's cab. Make sure that all other work site crew members are kept well away from wheel loader and safe from potential hazards. MAINTAIN STANDARD SAFETY EQUIPMENT IN GOOD CONDITION Machinery guards and body panel covers must be in place at all times. Keep well clear of rotating parts. Pinch point hazards such as cooling fan and alternator drive belts could catch hair, jewelry or oversize or very loose clothing. Safety labels must be replaced if they are damaged or become unreadable. Information on labels gives work crew members an important safety reminder. Part numbers for each decal and required mounting locations are shown on pages 1-2 through 1-4 of this section. HAOA100L Figure 10

- 18. S0103020K Page 14 Wheel Loader Safety ATTACHMENT PRECAUTIONS Options kits are available through your dealer. Contact Daewoo for information on available one-way (single-acting) and two-way (double-acting) piping / valving / auxiliary control kits. Because Daewoo cannot anticipate, identify or test all attachments that owners may wish to install on their machines, please contact Daewoo for authorization and approval of attachments, and their compatibility with options kits. ACCUMULATOR The pilot control system is equipped with an accumulator. For a brief period of time after the engine has been shut down, the accumulator will store a pressure charge that may enable hydraulic controls to be activated. Activation of any controls may enable the selected function to operate under force of gravity. When performing maintenance on the pilot control system, the hydraulic pressure in the system must be released as describe in Operation and Maintenance Manual. The accumulator is charged with high-pressure nitrogen gas, so it is extremely dangerous if it is handled in the wrong way. Always observe the following precautions; • Do not drill or make any holes in the accumulator or expose it any flame, fire or heat source. • Do not weld on the accumulator, or try attaching anything to it. • When carrying out disassembly or maintenance of the accumulator, or when disposing of the accumulator, the charged gas must be properly released. Contact your Daewoo distributor. • Wear safety goggles and protective gloves when working on an accumulator. Hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries. ENGINE VENTILATION Engine exhaust gases can cause loss of judgment, loss of alertness, and loss of motor control. These gases can also cause unconsciousness, serious injury and fatal accidents. Make sure of adequate ventilation before starting engine in any enclosed area. You should also be aware of open windows, doors or ductwork into which exhaust may be carried, or blown by wind, exposing others to danger. ARO1770L Figure 11
- 19. S0103020K Page 15 Wheel Loader Safety BEFORE STARTING ENGINE WORK SITE PRECAUTIONS Before starting operations, thoroughly check the area for any unusual conditions that could be dangerous. Check the terrain and condition of the ground at the work site, and determine the best and safest method of operation. Make the ground surface as hard and horizontal as possible before carrying out operations. If there is a lot of dust and sand on the work site, spray water before starting operations. If you need to operate on a street, protect pedestrians and cars by designating a person for work site traffic duty or by erecting fences and posting "No Entry" signs around the work site. Erect fences, post "No Entry" signs, and take other steps to prevent people from coming close to or entering the work site. If people come close to a moving machine, they may be hit or caught by the machine, and this may lead to serious personal injury or death. Water lines, gas lines, phone lines and high voltage electrical lines may be buried under the work site. Contact each utility and identify their locations. Be careful not to damage or cut any of these lines. NEVER be in water that is in excess of the permissible water depth. Refer to "Operation Manual." Any type of object in the vicinity of the boom could represent a potential hazard, or cause the operator to react suddenly and cause an accident. Use a spotter or signal person working near bridges, phone lines, work site scaffolds, or other obstructions. Minimum levels of insurance coverage, work permits or certification, physical barriers around the work site or restricted hours of operation may be mandated by governing authorities. There may also be regulations, guidelines, standards or restrictions on equipment that may have to be followed for local requirements. There may also be regulations related to performing certain kinds of work. If there is any question about whether your machine and work site complies with the applicable standards and regulations contact your local authorities and agencies. Avoid entering soft ground. It will be difficult for the machine to escape. Avoid operating your machine to close to the edge of cliffs, overhangs, and deep ditches. The ground may be weak in such areas. If the ground should collapse, the machine could fall or tip over and this could result in serious injury or death. Remember that the soil after heavy rain, blasting or after earthquakes, is weakened in these areas. Earth laid on the ground and the soil near ditches is loose. It can collapse under the weight of vibration of your machine and cause your machine to tip over. Install the head guard (FOPS) if working in areas where there is danger of falling rocks. Figure 12
- 20. S0103020K Page 16 Wheel Loader Safety CHECKS BEFORE STARTING ENGINE Every day before starting the engine for the first time, carry out the following checks. If these checks are not carried out properly, there is danger of serious injury. • Completely remove all wood chips, leaves, grass, paper and other flammable materials accumulated in the engine compartment and around the battery. They could cause a fire. Remove any dirt from the window glass, mirrors, handrails, and steps. • Do not leave tools or spare parts laying around in the operator's compartment. The vibration of the machine when traveling or during operations may cause them to fall and damage or break the control levers or switches. They may also get caught in the gap of the control levers and cause the work equipment to malfunction or move dangerously. This may lead to unexpected accidents. • Check the coolant level, fuel level, and hydraulic tank oil level, and check for clogged air cleaner and damage to the electrical wiring. • Adjust the operator's seat to a position where it is easy to operate the machine, and check the seat belt and mounts for damage and wear. • Check the operation of the gauges and the angle of the mirrors, and check that the safety lever is in "LOCKED" position. • If any abnormalities are found in the above checks, carry out repairs immediately. ENGINE STARTING • Walk around your machine before getting in operator's cab. Look for evidence of leaking fluid, loose fasteners, misaligned assemblies or any other indications of possible equipment hazard. • All equipment covers and machinery safety guards must be in place, to protect against injury while machine is being operated. • Look around work site area for potential hazards, or people or property that could be at risk while operation is in progress. • NEVER start engine if there is any indication that maintenance or service work is in progress, or if a warning tag is attached to controls in cab. • A machine that has not been used recently, or is being operated in extremely cold temperatures, could require a warm-up or maintenance service before start up. • Check gauges and monitor displays for normal operation before starting engine. Listen for unusual noises and remain alert for other potentially hazardous conditions at start of work cycle. • Check tire inflation and check tires for damage or uneven wear. Perform maintenance before operation. • Do not short circuit the starting motor to start the engine. This is not only dangerous, but may also damage the machine. • When starting the engine, sound the horn as an alert. • Start and operate the machine only while seated.
